Today, 30th November, is St Andrew's Day. St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, when we Scots eat haggis neeps and tatties with a dram of whisky poured over them as gravy, wear the kilt and play bagpipes.
Edeyn, please note for next year.
Hugs,
Gabi

Given what you eat ...
I well understand the need for fine whiskey as *gravy*.

"Nay, Lassie, It's as good as it ever was."

P.S. For the one or two out there who never heard the joke the beginning goes something like …
Two young women are visiting a Highlands games while on vacation and one says out loud as they pass a middle-aged but fit looking Scotsman in his full highland finery, "Is there anything worn under the kilt?"
The Scotsman turns and with a smile on his face says …

And, another response...
Why of course, any good scotsman wears his gillies & hoes. Whatever else he may or may not wear, is of no business to the casual acquaintence. :-)

Who?
He he just kidding, Gabi. I already knew but I hadn't noticed Edyn's shameful omission until I saw your post. Poor Edyn she has a hard job and we shouldn't tease her so.
I suppose we should have eaten our vegetarian haggis for tea this evening if we'd thought but as a punishment I'll force a drop of whisky down my throat instead :)

Weel, I'm home
And I'll celebrate the day with a dram of the Lismore. I had Arkansas haggis (meatloaf made with oatmeal :) ) earlier in the week. My Scots ancestors came to the New World with a wee stopover of only two generations in Ulster. Kirks, a sept of the Clan Maxwell, they were, and they settled in Maryland and Virginia in the early 1700s. :)
